Awards season is gearing up and Oscar.com is now tracking the #oscarbuzz.

ABC and The Academy recently updated Oscar.com, the official website for the Oscars. While a simple site, the homepage features a Twitter feed of the hashtag subject #oscarbuzz. Allowing the site to aggregate the common tweets, the hashtag gives Oscar fans a way to discuss the latest buzz. It also helps Oscar.com stay fresh with content until the overhaul comes around early next year, ahead of the nominations announcement on Jan. 24.

The homepage also features tweets from the Academy and statistics on the most mentioned actors and movies. It is interesting to note that Scarlett Johansson and "Drive" are currently the leaders. At this point in the year, there is no movie for which Johansson can be nominated.
